Britt Swain of the Lake Texhoma Association told the Cor onado Inn luncheon that when the Canadian River Dam is completed towns like Pampa must double their efforts to attract industry and tourists. He urged cooperation among lake area communities, better roads, labor, and recreation to lure visitors and executives. Swain noted tourism could bring substantial income, estimated at about $60 million, and advised long term leases to aid private investment in resort facilities.
